There were various systems in different areas/cities - the Attic (Athenian) one is representative.

It had three versions, used for different purposes:

A festival calendar - 12 months based on the cycle of the moon with compensating extra monthe each few years to make up for the shortfall of the solar year.

A political calendar - ten months of 36 days.

An agricultural calendar - the seasons based on the risings of stars.

You recorded a date according to the activity you were engaged in.
